Vikings OFFENSIVE SCHEMEThe Vikings Offense is built on 3 Principles

Multiplicity• Attack with multiple personnel

groups, formations, and movement.

• Gain leverage, create good matchups and blocking angles.

• Make full use of all skilled players, showcase what they do best!

Moving the Chains• Control and dictate game

tempo by sustaining first down after first down with consistent, relentless play.

• Use a complete “toolbox” that allows us to capitalize on any defensive weakness and play “downhill” with high-percentage plays

• Understand each situation and play smarter than our opponent.

Relentless Attack• Expect to score each time we take possession of the ball!• Dictate to the defense, make them uncomfortable!• Use all parts of the field, sideline to sideline, short and deep. Make use of a

complete arsenal that includes Power, Misdirection, Perimeter runs, Screens, Play Action, and Tricks.

WHY DO WE “GUN THE RUN”?• By forcing the defense to cover the entire field, “ganging-up” on the ball carrier is

reduced.• Line play is simplified by reducing the defensive front and limiting the number of

blocking schemes.• Blocks are delivered confidently, due to a concrete understanding of assignment.• Runs are varied through different backfield actions.• QB has easier pre and post snap reads.• QB already has depth in the pass game -- We are a dink and dunk passing offense.• QB will be able to see blitzes quicker and throw hot.• We get our athletes the football in open space.• Basketball on grass, with fast break potential.• Defenses have to account for the QB running the ball.• Every time QB meshes with the RB, both will be moving downhill towards the LOS.• By delivering the ball quickly in the passing game, the receivers can make a man miss

and use their athleticism to have good YAC.

OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHYWhat it is that we are truly trying to achieve as an offense?

• Attack the weakness of the defense (a specific player), not the defensive scheme itself

Type of offense are we going to be (offensive philosophy)

• Attacking with the foot on the pedal (for for it on 4th down)• Run to pass• Quick passing game -- 1 and 3 step drop (quick pass: dink

and dunk) & (pick one side of field pre-snap and attack)• Quarterback in pistol/gun with a 70/30 distribution in

run/pass

• Our players will be PHYSICAL on the line of scrimmage and while running/passing the ball

• Our players will practice the offense year round• If the other team can’t consistently stop a play,

we will keep running it• Our players will not be overcoached, we will

allow them to be players and make plays• Our coaches are prepared to prepare our players

WHAT MAKES THE LHS OFFENSE WORK?

• We are creative with formations in all aspects of the offense.• We use movement to change strength and create better blocking

angles.• We force the defense to play option responsibility, respect the

power game, and defend the pass on any given play.• We are multiple, so that allows our offense several avenues of

success in the course of a ball game.• We distribute the ball to several players.• We are unpredictable!

WHAT MAKES THE PLAYERS LOVE THE PISTOL OFFENSE?

HOLESThe second number in the two number running plays generally indicates the point of attack. We run all even numbers to the right and odd numbers to the left.

1 23 45 67 89 0

Holes 8 and 9 are wide running plays to the right and left respectively.

• QB aligns 5 yards from the center• Feet are slightly staggered with throwing foot

slightly in front (by 4 inches)• Hands are comfortable, with fingers spread• Center will snap ball into hands of the QB• On snap, the QB executes the running play or

he checks his read on the passing play

QUARTERBACK ALIGNMENT

• RB lines Up 2 to 3 yards behind QB. Or, if we are in gun, he is behind the offensive guard

• His eyes are straight ahead• He is balanced, with his hands on his hips• If his hands go to his knees, he goes to the

bench• We have some flexibility to his alignment with

tags on our plays (Rock, Eye, King, Queen etc. explained later in the playbook.)

RUNNING BACK ALIGNMENT

• All wide receivers will line up with the inside foot up.

• Hands should be up in a sprinters stance or at their sides; weight should be over the toes.

• Knees should be slightly bent. • Eyes should be looking in at the ball to

know when it is snapped.

WIDE RECEIVER ALIGNMENT

• The offensive line will line up in three point stances. (Unless we are in 3rd and 10+, then we go to 2 point stances.)

• O-Line splits are 2.5-4 feet.• Follow our adage: Check your feet,

Silverback, Stretch, Stance.• Avoid looking in at the ball. You must

KNOW the snap count.

WE MUST GET BETTER AT THE FUNDAMENTALS EVERY DAY!RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

DAILY PRACTICE

• Kill - Hurry up to the LOS and get to the ball, get set, and spike ball to stop clock. Cadence is “Set…Go.” QB will act like he is spiking the ball as he is running up to the LOS.

• Victory - Get to the line and take a snap and take a knee to run out the clock.

• Ice - Line up in Pro Right and try to draw the defense offsides. We will call timeout from the sideline as the play clock goes down.

SPECIAL SITUATIONS

• Indy - Every week, we will have a series of three plays which we will use in order. We will not huddle up and the formations will be the same. We want to get those plays off as fast as possible.

• Money - Every week, we will have our BEST play for the opponents defense. When we call “Money,” everyone will know where to line up and what play we will run.

• Petey - Run the same play…same formation.

TEMPO SETTERS

Snap count will always be on go!

• Nestle (Quick) - Quick route if DB is 8 yards off the outside receiver or 6 yards off inside receiver and we have a running play called. O-Line will cut.

• Hawaii - Hitch route if DB is 10 yards off the outside receiver or 6 yards off inside receiver.

• Zulu - We will run 34/35 zone to the right side.• Wyoming - Bubble Screen if we get a 2 x 1 or a 3 x 2

on our outside edge. O-Line will zone block.• Noah - QB sneak (wedge call by offensive line).

UNDERSTANDING DEFENSIVE FRONTS

It is imperative that our offensive linemen learn and understand the different fronts that they will be facing throughout the season. As we learn blocking schemes and apply them to each front, we will eventually evolve into categorizing our plays with defensive fronts. You have to be able to ask yourself the following questions and understand the following points:

1. Is the front a 3, 4, or 5 man?2. Is the man across from me head up, inside eye, or outside eye?3. What linebackers in their defense like to blitz?4. Can I see what I am blocking prior to the play(is my head up)?

DEFENSIVE FRONTS

We will identify the following fronts that we will see from our opponents.

BLOCKING TERMINOLOGY

UNDERSTANDING PLAY CALLS:THE OFFENSIVE LINE

When the quarterback calls the play in the huddle, the offensive line must listen to the number as well as the “name” of the play.

The first number will give them the backfield series, the second number the hole the play is being run and the wording following the number is what the play is called with its direction. Listen and think before approaching the line of scrimmage. Also, review the snap count (first sound, set, one, two, or three.)

2 Backrunseries

The ball is going to the 4 hole and is Zone

Formation Motion Tells you your blocking rulesAs well as the direction of the play

Pro Right King-- Zip -- 34 -- Zone Right

KNOW YOUR ASSIGNMENTSAfter the offensive line gets the number and play call (with direction), each player has got to know what blocking scheme we will use.

Because of this, we have 8 main blocking schemes that employ the types of blocks on the previous pages.

The 8 types of blocks arePower/Counter/Dart -- Center and playside guard and tackle down block and the backside guard trap blocks the EMLOS backside tackle reach blocks.Zone - Line drive blocks the man in front of them (DL or LB). Worked like a combo block. Double team DL on playside (G/T). Backside T or TE does not block the EMLOS. Get to second level/cut.Wedge -- Line reach blocks to the insideTrap -- Center and playside guard down block and the backside guard trap blocks the defensive tackle.

Belly -- Playside guard kick blocks EMLOS underneath the down block of the playside tackleOption -- Line drive blocks the man in front of them (DL or LB) However…DO NOT BLOCK EMLOS to the playside (who will be DE or OLB, depending on the front.)Jet -- Line reach blocks the man in front of them (DL or LB) to the playside (best cut block)Stretch/Pitch -- Playside and Backside guard pull block around reach block of the playside tackle/Center

OFFENSIVE LINE TERMINOLOGYWhen the plays are drawn up on the following pages, you must know how your blocking scheme is

set up as well as what position you play.

Backside refers to the part of the OL away from the play. Playside is the side the play is run.

GGT TC

Q B

PlaysideBackside

TIGHT END BLOCKING1. Hook -- On the snap take a short step straight upfield with your inside foot. If the DE is coming hard lock onto him and cave him down the LOS. If he is not coming hard, rub your outside arm and shoulder through the DE working from low to high. You should almost be scrambling upfield with your eyes on the LB. Step on the LB's toes and get to the upfield side and push him back to the LOS. If you miss the LB make him come underneath you not over the top. Do Dad 100% of the time on short yardage, goal line or keep.

2. Quick Veer Release (QVR) -- In most cases when you have a QVR you will be double teaming the LB with your OT. When executing this block, the TE MUST get outside leverage. As you make contact, maintain this outside leverage, keep the LB and get movement. The OT is your backside partner, it is his responsibility to step to you so the double team doesn’t get split.

3. Veer Release (VR) -- On the snap your first step is a lead step with your outside foot. Continue to pull outside to spot the man who has force. As you pull, it is crucial that you GET WIDTH - NOT DEPTH! Do NOT turn upfield until you are 1 yard outside the force man. Keep outside leverage on the defender and hook him by attacking his outside armpit. We want this block to occur about 2 or 3 yards from the LOS. Make contact by sticking your facemask into the defender’s outside armpit; attack the defender high and run over him by accelerating your feet. (Make sure you keep your feet) If you lose the defender, lose him underneath you - DO NOT allow him to go over the top of you.

WIDE RECEIVER BLOCKING

1. Stalk Block -- On the snap come off the line hard in a fly pattern. Do not get bumped inside. Take your man as deep as he will go. When he reads run, he will stop. STOP WHEN HE STOPS AND NOT BEFORE. When he plants in his backpedal, you should breakdown and backpedal 3 steps. Stay square to the defender and mirror him by shuffling from side to side. Wait for the DB to close on you, then attack him and stay high.

Keys:• Come off the line hard - sell the fly pattern• Stop when the defense stops - breakdown• Make the DB come to you

2. Crack Back -- On the snap of the ball take two hard steps downfield as if you were running a fly pattern. Then take a sharp angle to the inside, and head for the outside armpit of the outside LB or strong safety. As soon as he turns to face your direction, put your shoulder into his stomach, and accelerate through him. Do NOT hit him in the back. If you miss him, make him go underneath you, recover, and find someone else to block.

DEFINITIONS OF BASE PLAYS

BEFORE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND OUR PLAYBOOK, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

“FOOTBALL”

MEANING, YOU NEED TO SEE WHY WE RUN THE PLAYS THAT WE RUN AND HOW

WE RUN THEM.

FOLLOWING ARE DEFINITIONS OF THE PLAYS THAT WE LIKE TO RUN.

TERMINOLOGY IBelly - Quarterback comes downhill and hands ball off to the fullback (H). Guard trap blocks out. We can also run a Belly Keep (quarterback keeps ball) or an option off of the fake to the H-back.

Counter - A running play designed to get the defense going in one direction while the running back goes back against the intended pursuit of the defense. We generally fake to the H-Back and come back with a handoff to the A-Back. The guard on the backside pulls across and opens up the hole.

Dart - Running back fakes as if he is running across the formation on the mesh with the QB. Then, he reverses his field and runs to the side he was initially line up on. Offensive line blocking is like the toss (kick out block).

Zone - H-Back makes a lead block on the inside linebacker (isolation block 1 on 1) and the quarterback gives ball to the Tailback (A) through the hole. This is our base play. Zone blocking by the offensive line.

TERMINOLOGY IIJet - A play when one of the wide receivers or slotback comes in motion as fast as he can towards the quarterback. On the snap, the QB meshes with the motion man and either gives him the ball or runs a counter play. This is our 50 series.

Option - A play when the quarterback has the choice of giving to the first man or running the ball himself with a second running back. This is our 40 series.

Power - Quarterback meshes with the A or H going across the formation. We will pull the backside guard and block down with the playside line.

Play-Action Pass - A passing play after the quarterback has faked a hand-off.

Sprint Out - When a quarterback runs parallel to the line, looking for a receiver.

TERMINOLOGY IIIStretch - Quarterback takes snap and hands ball to back going wide (outside tackle) to the running back. Handoff should be made behind the QB. The play is designed to hit real wide.

Toss - Quarterback opens and tosses the ball back to the running back who cuts upfield inside the tackle. Play looks like the pitch, but should hit more inside.

Veer - Quarterback meshes playside with the playside running back. Backside back comes behind as the pitch back.

Waggle - The quarterback fakes a handoff one way and then rolls out the other way. This is used to fake out the defense.

Wedge - Back takes ball and lowers his head and runs straight ahead. Generally a short yardage play designed to get a yard or two. Wedge blocking by the offensive line.
